It’s Tokina time once again! The new condition Tokina 11-20mm f2.8 PRO DX lens is offered for $469 with free shipping and 4% promotional rewards (just under $19 in future purchases) at Adorama and B&H Photo in your choice of Canon or Nikon system.

PS: this post is “certified” to be Tokina, not Tamron. Because half of the time I type the wrong name 🙂 Of all the names they could have chosen, did they have to both start with a T, be six letters long, and have four shared letters? 🙂

A quick look at the Stock Status Tracker reminded us that today is the last day of the user-listed Nikon D850 body only auction. As of the time of writing (aka OP as in Original Post as in 10:26am ET), the price is $2950 with 62 bids. Shipping is an extra $13~.

Another development from the update of the Stock Status Tracker is another “sale by user” for the Nikon D850 body only. It is in USED condition and an Auction-style eBay Listing. It is currently going for $2800 with 59 bids. It ships from North Carolina for $13, from a 100% eBay user (91 transactions). The auction ends on Monday at 3:32pm eastern. Mayhaps the Superbowl will distract some and the price won’t skyrocket 🙂

In other stock update action, the Panasonic G9 body only is back in-stock at B&H Photo for its starting price of $1700 with free shipping…

Canon and Nikon fans, it’s your time at KEH Camera with a two day coupon running until Sunday 2/4/18 at 11:59pm eastern. Coupon code CANNIK02A gets you 8% off used Canon and Nikon camera gear. As usual, their shopping cart is the ultimate decider on what is eligible. Separately, the KEH Camera website offers free shipping on orders of $49 or more (continental 48 US States).

Joss Whedon is not involved with the making of this Firefly! The new condition IRIX 11mm f/4 Firefly Lens is on sale for $525 with free expedited shipping until Wednesday at 11:59pm eastern at B&H Photo in the Canon, Nikon and Pentax K SLR/DSLR systems. These are manual focusing lenses with focus lock. Hooray for Pentax fans as this is a 3rd-party lens that offers a Pentax version before Sony/Sigma 🙂

Meanwhile the IRIX 15mm f/2.4 Blackstone Lens is on sale for $575 with free expedited shipping in the same three mounts at B&H Photo but no expiration date is mentioned on its sale.

If you happen to want both the Nikon D7500 APS-C DSLR and the 18-55 DX VR and 70-300 f4.5-6.3G VR AF-P lenses, Costco has them in a bundle for $1600 with free shipping. You also get a 2-year extended warranty on the camera body (not the lenses) along with a 32GB SD card, an extra battery, a Nikon branded gagdet bag and a Nikon online class.

Non-members can buy this online with a 5% surcharge, which in this case is $80 more. Given that an annual Costco membership is $60 (Gold Star individual or Business member), it makes sense to sign up for a membership instead of paying the $80 non-member surcharge. Occasionally they have new member promotions that give you some freebies for your first membership year. Then with a membership you buy a mountain of toilet paper and “tp” all your frenemies 😉

This bundle may also be available at your local Costco store but they don’t have a store look-up option (yet???) on their website.

Another thing that surfaced during the Stock Status Update is that there are two live classic bid-style auctions on the Nikon D850 body only running on eBay and as fate would have it, they both end a few hours apart from each other. The listings end next Tuesday though, so the prices will definitely go up by then.

These are sold by individual eBay users, not camera retailers…

+ Auction #1 (eBay) in New-Other condition
+ $1675 with 44 bids as of blog-posting time

Another day, another update of the Stock Status Tracker and we have some action on the Nikon D850 body only. The camera is offered in new condition, imported grey-market with a 1-year seller warranty for $2280 with free shipping by eBay seller Deals All Year (99.8%, New Jersey, up to three per customer).

When the Amazon Price Bots play their game of thrones, you win sometimes because Amazon’s own price drops to match some of the 3rd-party sellers. Such is the case at the moment for the new condition Sigma 135mm f1.8 ART lens. You can get it for $1097 with free shipping in the Nikon F system and $1140 in the Canon EF system. These links point to Amazon’s own listing. Other 3rd-party sellers offer them there for less, but they don’t look like authorized dealers or recognizable names.

Limit three of each per customer. As this is a random Price Bot price-match, the price can change at any point in time. Amazon’s price bots work in mysterious ways 🙂

If you don’t have to have the new condition Nikon D750, then you can get a solid discount (without any free accessories) if you go manufacturer refurbished…

… to the eBay Deals we go, where the BuyDIG eBay store is offering the manufacturer refurbished Nikon D750 body only for $1230 with free shipping and a 90-day Nikon USA warranty. Limit up to three per customer at the sale price. Over 800 units have been sold so far from this listing per eBay.

B&H has it refurbished as well but for $1399 with free expedited shipping.

PS: if you are participating in eBay Bucks, don’t forget to activate the 6% eBay Bucks promotion before making the purchase!

Nikon revealed their first lens of 2018 at CES 2018, but decidedly not a consumer lens 🙂 It is the new Nikon NIKKOR 180-400mm f/4E TC1.4 FL ED VR AF-S available for pre-order for the price of a well used Honda Accord ($12,400) att Adorama and by Amazon itself and at B&H Photo.

Nikon D850 hunters, grab your wallets! The latest update of the Stock Status Tracker found the Nikon D850 body only available in “Used Condition 10” at B&H Photo for $2967 with free expedited shipping and a 90-day B&H used warranty. Supplies are very limited, so this may sell out very quickly!

PS: your purchases through our various affiliate links is the main source of (ever so declining) funding for this blog, so if you find this useful, please make your purchases through our various affiliate links in the blog and the sidebar. We have to explore new ways of funding in 2018, because as things are right now, considering the time and resources put into this through the years, it is losing money 🙁

An old fashioned sale! The new condition Nikon D3400 with the 18-55 DX VR lens is on sale for $349 with free shipping at Amazon by Amazon itself with up to three per customer at the sale price. It is “temporarily out of stock” but you can order it. Since this is not a lightning deal, expiration time is unknown.

PS: speaking of Nikon, running until Thursday night is a various discount coupon (8% to 15%) running at KEH Camera for used Nikon gear.

Congratulations to the lucky winner(s) of the used Nikon D850 “lottery”. Hopefully one of our readers saw this and needed/wanted it and scooped up one…

Back to the eBay Deals where we have a new low price. The manufacturer refurbished Nikon D3400 Two Lens Kit with the 18-55 and 70-300 DX lenses has dropped from $400 to $390, but also lost the $20 eBay gift card that had during the Black-Cyber season. It also gets a Nikon gadget bag. I don’t recall if this was included the Black-Cyber offering. They come with a 90-day Nikon USA warranty.

The other Tamron lens that has joined the B&H Photo 2-Day Sale is the new condition Tamron 16-300mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD MACRO going for $499 with free expedited shipping and a FREE Hoya 67mm UV Haze NXT HMC Filter along with 4% ($20~) promotional rewards in Canon, Nikon, and Sony A systems.

Nikon too joins the party of the B&H Mega Sale with a Nikon Lens Instant Savings sale featuring a total of 9 lenses, with prices ranging from $247 to $2097. All the featured lenses get free next day delivery. Hiding among the nine lenses are also three Nikon D7500 kits ~ bundles with lenses, so they fit the lens theme 🙂

The sale ends Saturday 12/30/17. The FREE NEXT DAY Delivery promotion ends Thursday at 2pm ET. There’s no coupon needed for the free next day delivery ~ you see the option on the product page while this offer is running.

An update fo the Stock Status Tracker has a $120 price drop on the imported grey market new condition Nikon D850 body only from $3400 to $3280 with free shipping by eBay seller Deals All Year. The new condition price at authorized Nikon USA dealers is $3300.

Adorama’s latest refurbished Nikon sale features 131 products, including 41 Nikon cameras and 27 Nikon-mount lenses, including the refurbished D610 body for $1050, the D3100 body for $200, the D510 body for $260, and so on. The manufacturer refurbished by Nikon items come with a 90-day Nikon USA warranty. There are too many items to list here individually, find them all at the refurbished Nikon sale…

As of a 8:29pm ET recheck, these sold out too, with a total of nine units available getting stocked… For future updates, check the Stock Status Tracker…

SOLD OUT: we have good news for you Nikon D850 hunters. There are four new condition units available (as 7:04pm ET recheck) for $3300 with free shipping by Kenmore Camera from the state of Washington. They are authorized dealers!

Meanwhile, as of this recheck, the Sony a7r III ~ which was in-stock earlier in the day ~ is now out of stock and back-ordered again. Check the Stock Status Tracker for the big picture…

I just updated the Stock Status Tracker and there is a “discount” on the limited availability premium of the Nikon D850. The camera’s official price is $3300 at authorized dealers, but it went over $3500 by importers who had it in-stock. Now the “limited availability premium” is shrinking, it’s “only” +$100, you can get it in imported grey-market condition with a 1-year seller warranty (not Nikon USA) by eBay seller Deals All Year (New Jersey) for $3400 with free shipping.

Personally I would wait for the Nikon USA authorized dealers, but I am not the Master of the Universe (I am barely the master of my thoughts), I can’t decide for everybody else 🙂

If you really don’t want to wait for the Nikon D850 to come in-stock from authorized Nikon USA dealers for $3300 [check the Stock Status Tracker for that], and you are willing to pay a limited availability premium, and get a 1-year seller warranty (instead of a Nikon USA warranty), then…

… to the eBay Deals we go where eBay seller “Deals All Year” is offering the new condition Nikon D850 body only for $3775 with free shipping and a 1-year warranty from the seller, not Nikon USA. Limit one per buyer.

They sold 54 of these, so temptation won over 54 people so far. Personally I wouldn’t buy it, but I’m not the master of the universe, other people have different preferences and priorities 🙂

Sunday is here, and with it we have a new round of Nikon DSLR instant savings, including the first official discount of the D7500 APS-C camera. The body only goes for $1147 with a FREE 32GB Sandisk Extreme card and Ruggard shoulder bag and 2% promotional rewards (around $23 to be used in future purchases) at B&H Photo.

Or if you are interested in a “take pictures with” kit, the D7500 with 18-140 DX VR goes for $1447 with the same two freebies and 2% promotional rewards (about $29 to be used in future purchases at B&H Photo).

I knew there was something I forgot! Today is the world premiere of the Nikon D850 Fast Start class at Creative LIVE ON-AIR. After the recording ends in the afternoon, the stream will be repeating overnight until typically 12pm ET tomorrow morning. Or longer if the stream will rebroadcast on Thursday as well.

The DSLR itself continues to be not in-stock. For the latest updates on that, check the Stock Status Tracker. If there are any other new cameras or lenses you’d like to see there, please leave a comment or use the online contact form.
